Hi Dr, I gave Chiyo (my teacup pomeranian 1.5 kg) double dose of doxycycline.. I gave him third pill of 100 mg, so i assume it is about 33-35 mg.. How bad is this?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! The maximum dose of doxycycline is 10mg/kg twice daily (or 20mg/kg/day). If you gave Chylo around 33-35mg that is 20mg/kg and he should be fine. Do not give him any more for 24 hours. Doxycycline is very hard on the stomach so he may have vomiting. I hope this helps and have a great day!

We have adopted a street dog on the island of Utila, Honduras where we live. There is no vet but we sent blood samples to the mainland and were told our lovely 80-90 lb. hound dog has ehrlichiosis. We are ablate buy doxycycline I'm not confident abou
Hello and thank you for your post! With Ehrlichiosis I typically dose at 5mg/kg every 12 hours, which equates to roughly 200mg twice daily. The 100mg dose does seem a bit low. I typically treat for about 6 weeks as well. Based on cases your vet has seen, he / she may have a reason for dosing at the 100mg twice daily. That is what I treat Ehrlichiosis with though and is effective. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me. I am also available via consultation.

My dogs case is really sad. My akitas are all under treatment for low platelete count, and vet gave doxycycline(doxyvet10), fortunately/unfortunately Im suspecting a pregnant bitch which caused by accidental breeding. But the vet said we should conti
Doxycycline is not a drug of choice used during pregnancy, especially the second and third trimester with the main risks related to abnormal tooth and bone development, with permanent staining of the baby teeth, but if the health of the mother is at risk then the benefits may outweigh the risks. If she is now heavily pregnant I would continue to use as stopping now will not affect outcome, if however you think she is less than 3-4weeks pregnant and she had not been critically ill then it may be worth considering stopping treatment whilst aware that the initial disease symptoms may return or worsen if not fully cured. Blood tests to identify current infection may be helpful in deciding

I have a female rescue dog that gave birth to a litter and has mastitis in her teats only two are affected and it just started 3 days ago but it is already hard and warm to touch. Is it safe to give her doxycycline while she is nursing I have 50 mg d
Unfortunately, no, doxycycline is not a good choice for antibiotics in a nursing mamma dog. First, it does not have the spectrum of antibacterial activity needed for most mammary gland infections. This means that it may not clear up the infection entirely or be effective against the organisms causing the infection at all. Secondly, this is a drug that needs to be avoided in nursing moms because of potential side effects it can have in young puppies. This drug is not safe in neonates and can cause problems with the teeth in these young pups. I would recommend taking your momma dog to the vet to be examined and to get an antibiotic that is safe for her and the pups. In the meantime, until you can get to the vet, try using warm compresses and massage on the affected glands if your dog will tolerate it. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. Best of luck.

You would need a current prescription from a veterinarian who has physically examined Duke. You can then place your order and submit the prescription. The pharmacy will then contact the veterinarian or clinic to confirm the prescription then fill the order.
